I was using testing (etch) and decided to install KDE 3.4.2 from the
Unstable repositry. (I was using GNOME 2.10 from the unstable rep and
dist-upgraded to unstable once then re-pinned to testing..)

Any way, the installation was successful. I login to KDE and after the
selections like themes etc, it freezes when I see the splash screen.. It
just writes something like process communication (it's Turkish and i
can't translate it exactly) and stops responding. I can move the mouse
but can do nothing further. There's no clue in the .xsession-errors file.

Does anybody have a clue about this ? I heard some people using it
without any problems.. I'll have to reinstall Debian then.. :(

You should verify with:

dpkg -l | grep kde

the homogeneity of packages version (3.4.2).

I don't know about the KDE issue but you don't have to re-install. Use one of
the package management tools, aptitude, dselect, and purge the KDE packages.
You can run 'deborphan' to find any libraries left behind. You (almost) never
have to re-install.

Sounds like a problem with the DCOP server, which requires hal and/or dbus -
even though there's no physical dependency. Try installing hal (which will
force dbus, too).
